NiPSysGrowFadeModifier

NiPSysGrowFadeModifier is a modifier for particle systems that grows and shrinks particles based on their generation and lifespan. Particle size is on a 0 to 1 float range, with zero being completely shrunken and one being full size.

An example of a NiPSysGrowFadeModifier.

Its fields are:

• Name: The name of the modifier.
• Order: 3000 seems to be the only one used, it's a "general modifier" flag.
• Target: The particle system you wish to affect.
• Active: If the modifier is enabled. You can animate this value by specifying the name of the modifier as the Controller ID in a NiControllerSequence and using a NiPSysModifierActiveCtlr as a controller with a NiBoolTimelineInterpolator as the interpolator.
• Grow Time: Grows particles from the base scale value to full size over this period (in seconds?)
• Grow Generation: Only particles of this generation will grow. Set to 0 to have every particle grow.
• Fade Time: Shrinks particles from the base scale value over this period (in seconds?)
• Fade Generation: Only particles of this generation will shrink. Set to 0 to have every particle shrink.
• Base Scale: Marks the minimum size of particles when handled by this modifier. Added by Bethesda.
